Chantilly, VA – May 23, 2017 –

Northern Virginia Roofing of Chantilly, Virginia, has received the most prestigious contractor award GAF offers: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Northern Virginia Roofing as one of the “elite of the elite” residential roofing contractors in the United States.

GAF is North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and only GAF Master Elite(R) Contractors can compete for its residential President’s Club Award. To qualify for this award, a residential roofing contractor must meet specific criteria in at least one out of three different pathways: the Performance pathway, where contractors focus on giving their property owners the best possible service, quality, and protection; the Reliability pathway, where the contractor has a long history of offering their customers the best quality and protection; and the Service pathway, where contractors consistently offer their customers the best protection available in the marketplace.

Northern Virginia Roofing has been a GAF Master Elite(R) Contractor since 2006; the company received the President’s Club Award due to its excellent performance in 2016. To become a Master Elite(R) Contractor–a status that less than 2% of roofing contractors nationwide are able to achieve–a candidate must demonstrate proper licensing, maintain insurance (in states that require it), have a proven reputation, and show commitment to ongoing professional training.

With two divisions (residential and commercial) installing roofing, siding, gutters, windows, and doors, Northern Virginia Roofing is a company that does it all–including helping to replace the roof of the Pentagon after the 2001 terrorist attacks. “It’s not something a lot of people know about us,” according to John Francis, owner and chief executive officer. “It was done at no cost to the taxpayers. Northern Virginia Roofing and other contractors around the country rallied together to restore a national symbol.”

The company has installed more than 40,000 projects since opening for business in 1963. “We’ve been in business long enough to service three generations of a family,” explains chief operating officer of NV Roofing Commercial Services Paul Dow, “and 50% of our business is either repeat or referral. Many of our crew members have been with us for 11 years; we’ve received 31 national awards for training, installation, and consumer protection; and our owner and CEO is a familiar presence on television and radio. We’re a prominent company with a rich history.”

Communication is important at Northern Virginia Roofing. “When a homeowner starts a project with us, we assign a project manager to that customer, so he or she has a direct point of contact,” says Dow. “Nobody ever complains about a lack of communication with us–we over-communicate! Whether it’s an announcement that we’re coming to start the job or a notification that something has changed, the homeowner is always kept in the loop.”

In addition to its contracting services, the company has a separate division that conducts home energy audits. It has also participated in GAF’s Roofs for Troops promotion.

Since its founding in 1963, Northern Virginia Roofing has provided professional, thorough, and reliable roofing and home-improvement services to thousands of customers in northern Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC. The company goes to great lengths to ensure that homeowners’ roofs, siding, windows, doors, and gutters are constructed of the finest, most durable materials and installed professionally. Because of its established relationships with several major product manufacturers, Northern Virginia Roofing is able to offer the best warranties in the business, many of which are transferable when a house is sold. Offering competitive pricing on all of its services, the company always assures its customers of receiving the best value and the highest quality of workmanship.

Founded in 1886, GAF is the largest roofing manufacturer in North America. The Company is an operating subsidiary of Standard Industries.

GAF products include a comprehensive portfolio of roofing systems for residential and commercial properties, which are supported by an extensive national network of factory-certified contractors. Its success is driven by its commitment to Advanced Quality, Industry Expertise, and Solutions Made Simple. GAF was the first roofing manufacturer to offer a Lifetime limited warranty on all of its laminated shingles, which then evolved with the introduction of the GAF Lifetime Roofing System by extending the Lifetime coverage beyond just the roofing shingles.

With a focus on social responsibility, GAF developed Advanced Protection(R) Shingle Technology, providing excellent durability and wind resistance while reducing the use of natural resources. The Company has also developed single-ply and asphaltic roofing membranes with excellent durability and high reflectivity to meet the most rigorous industry standards while helping commercial property owners and designers reduce energy consumption.

GAF also supports the roofing industry through CARE, the Center for the Advancement of Roofing Excellence(TM), which has provided education to over 230,000 professionals. CARE’s mission is to help professional contractors and distributors build their businesses through sales and management education, and to provide product and installation training to contractors, distributors, architects, property owners, and related industry personnel.
